visiting namer



sunday we drove to visit namer. we spent the night with her and had a great time catching up. jack slept great and loved playing in her hose.

i forgot to take a picture with namer and johnny mentioned monday morning to take a picture, but namer was still in her pjs so jack and i just took a picture together.




toy story on ice


we started our vacation by going to columbus to see mimi and papa and ty, emmie, and frank. we had a lot of fun! the best part of the whole trip was toy story on ice. jack had THE BEST time! i would rather watch his face the whole time than to watch the actual show. he was so excited every time a new character came out.

our group before the show






this is the face that jack made A LOT during the show!


johnny HAD to have the cotton candy...he is worse than a kid! (the cotton candy came with the buzz lightyear hat)


mimi had to get in on the buzz hat too!



when we got home from the show jack asked everybody, one by one, what their favorite part of the show was. it was too cute! his favorite part was when the giant hand (of the garbage truck driver) grabbed lotso (the bear). his other favorite part was t rex (not sure if it was the toy or him on the ice)

here are a few other pictures from our weekend in columbus...

hose




we played with the hose this morning. jack had so much fun and made a mud pit in our backyard! he had fun spraying momma's feet :)

i can see a lot of hose playing in our future!

mother's day weekend


i had a great mother's day weekend!
saturday jack slept in until 8:15! that means that i got to sleep in too!! we made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then went to the farmer's market. then we went to gilcrest to eat lunch and then we walked around botanical gardens. it was a great morning. after jack's nap we went to get ice cream and then home to grill out.
johnny was trying to teach jack how to roll down a hill...

jack decided that walking down was much easier! smart kid!




jack enjoyed his superman ice cream


my yummy dinner!

sunday jack slept in again so we missed early church. so we decided to just go to sunday school. then we went to mellow mushroom for lunch and then to railroad park. it was a good idea in theory to go to the park, but it was sooooo hot! the sun was just beating down on us. so we only stayed there for maybe 15-20 minutes. then last night we had susan and jimmy over to celebrate with us. we made chicken enchiladas, a yummy salad and strawberry pie. it was perfect!



johnny and jack got me a new bathing suit, a nightgown and robe, flowers and charlie got me an ergo baby carrier! jack also got me a woody mother's day card!

i am so blessed to be jack's momma! he is the best little boy ever and it was so nice to hear him tell me happy mother's day all day!


i am also very blessed that i have a wonderful momma who loves me unconditionally! she is my best friend and means the world to me! thanks for all the advice over the years...you don't know how much you mean to me!

i am also the luckiest girl ever to have such an amazing mother in law. i am lucky that we get along great and that we have her here with us in birmingham!
happy mother's day!!

trains




jack spends a lot of his time playing with his train set. santa did a great job! he plays with it on his train table too, but with the extra tracks he likes to build a new track across our den floor. today we took all of the other tracks off the table and built a big track. he does a lot of it himself, but i had to help with the viaduct and hooking it all together. it is so much fun to watch him play.
he wants me to play with him, but it is getting really hard to crawl around on the floor with my big ol' belly!! so i play for a little bit and then i have to convince him to let me sit back and watch. (it is not easy to convince him of that!)


he was saying "choo choo" in this pic

you can kind of see our "new" couch in the background so i thought i would show a picture of it in our den...
our friends are moving to portland in june and were wanting to get rid of it...so we jumped on it and they gave us a great price. jack was not too happy about us getting rid of the sonny's couch...he is so much like me and does not like change. he got over it very quick though!

happy cinco de mayo


we made chicken fajitas for our celebration of cinco de meyo last night. jack requested a cheese quesadilla so that is what he had. of course we put our food on his plate and he eats right around it. i just keep on thinking that one day he will eat our food too. some days he does but very rarely! anyway, we had fun and it was fun hearing jack try to say happy cinco de mayo!!

ice and bath


this is one of jack's favorite things to do. it is so simple too!! ice, spoons, and bowls!


johnny gives jack his baths and they love it! i do the dishes and clean up from dinner while he gives him a bath. it is great daddy/ jack time!!
